Screenshot makes only solid green images

I am using VLC version 3.0.1 Vetinari on an Alienware 15 R3 laptop running windows 10. While playing a video file and when I click on the screenshot icon on the toolbar it only saves a solid green image instead of an actual image of what was on the screen at the time. I was playing an x264 mkv file. In the settings I tried using both png and jpeg as the file types of the files it saves but it makes just a green rectangle with both. Any idea what I can to make it work?

I'm having this same issue with most video formats. .avi screenshots work normally, .m4v, .mov, .wmv, .mkv all produce a solid green screenshot, some .mp4 are solid green, others create a solid green background with lighter green and/or red lines angling across parts of the screen.

Looks like I cant attach images or log file to this post.

Maybe you can see this.
It is the codec window for the file that produces a green snapshot
or this?

I just installed 64bit version of "VLC 3.0.6 Vetinari jenkins@728791c5f812 Jan 9 2019 20:40:01" on my computer for the first time.
When playing over rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov
I see video on screen just fine.
When I try to take a snapshot. They are only 1/4 correct.
I tried to upload some of the captures here for better understanding.

The issue is still present in the latest version of 3.0.16 Vetinari. If you have "Image Adjust" checked/activated, screenshots come plain green.

You should create a new ticket on the VLC Trac with your above report and the link to this thread:

Done. Took me a while to find out my password and i realised that trac.videolan.org was retired and replaced by github.

Im here to let you know the bug still persists in 3.0.20 Vetinari.
I tried to log in to the bug tracker, but after entering the user and password it asks for a
verification code which im not receiving since i dont have the app, and its not in my two email addresses. Resetting the password doesnt work either.
